As a child, shy, bookish Elizabeth Anne Fitzgerald loses her
heart to the dashing young Lord Tyrell de Warenne. Although
she is well aware that he is the heir to an earldom and
utterly unattainable, Lizzie secretly worships him for
years. On the night of her first masquerade ball, she is
stunned when he suggests that they rendezvous at midnight.
But then fortune takes a maddening turn and Lizzie is
thwarted from ever meeting Tyrell. Lizzie is certain such an
opportunity will never arise again, but that night is only
the beginning . . .
Tyrell de Warenne is shocked when, two
years later, Lizzie arrives on his doorstep with a child
that she claims is his. He remembers her well -- and knows
that it is impossible that he is the boy's father. What is
this game she is playing . . . and why? Is Elizabeth Anne
Fitzgerald a woman of vast experience, or the gentle
innocent he had believed her to be? Tyrell quickly decides
he will play her game, and he claims the child as his own,
determined to uncover Lizzie's lies. But neither scandal,
deception nor pride can thwart a love too grand and
passionate to ever be denied . . .
